The Sprint Galaxy S III is now receiving its second official update, after being out a few weeks. Both are minor security updates, with this one specifically stated to be a “Google security update.” It’s fantastic to see such great support for the phone. These security measures aren’t even in the face of a security attack, they’re just added… Read more
Verizon had a release date of July 10th for the Galaxy S III, but that’s been pushed back. Verizon has now announced that it is now July 12th, a mere two days later. This is probably an issue of getting enough stock for the onslaught of customers eager for their new S III, and thus will not affect pre-orders. So those of you who didn’t pre-order will… Read more
The international Galaxy Note has had Ice Cream Sandwich for quite a while, while AT&T users were left in the cold. The AT&T model has a different chipset, so it would seem logical that it’d take longer. But the update is finally here! It comes with all the standard Android 4.0 stuff, including the nice multitasking menu, new UI (tastefully skinned by… Read more
Only a little while after release, Samsung is already pushing an update to the Galaxy SIII. It’s a very minor bug fixer and is said to improve stability, and it’s good to see Samsung taking care of their flagship. The software version is LF2 and is available through Kies if you have the UK unlocked model. It’ll soon be available to others as well…. Read more
It looks like Samsung is doing what it’s always been best at. It’s spreading its flagship phone to every carrier possible, including small regional carriers. C Spire is the next to get it. C Spire, known previously as Cellular South, is getting the same model everyone else. It’ll house the well known dual core Snadragon S4 processor and will support… Read more
It’s finally here! It’s quite a big event, as Samsung has updated a US Galaxy SII to Ice Cream Sandwich. Sure, it wasn’t the fastest update, but it was faster than most phones were upgraded stateside. And T-Mobile has the honor of being the first carrier to have their SII updated to the coveted Ice Cream Sandwich. Software version T989UVLE1 will be… Read more
Is this… the perfect Galaxy SIII variant? The fabled Exynos/LTE combo? With the added bonus of 2GB of RAM? It’s hard to believe, but it appears so. It could be a typo, but I dearly hope it isn’t. If this thing is real, I can’t imagine how many will be imported into the US and various countries in Europe. The only thing is that it won’t get much… Read more
We all knew that US Cellular was going to be one of the five major US carriers carrying the Galaxy SIII, and all the other carriers priced them equally. So we were wondering how US Cellular priced theirs. Well now we know. They will be $300 for the 16GB model and $350 for the 32GB model, but both will come with $100 mail in rebates. So as long as you… Read more
We nor the developers are responsible for any damages caused. Rooting is a possibly dangerous procedure, so do it at your own risk.

It’s a simple package for those who want to stay on the stock ROM for now. Its simplicity is… Read more
There has been a brick bug going around some Samsung phones that you should be aware of. Many Exynos-based Samsung phones (international I9100, Sprint D710, AT&T I777, Note N7000) were shipped with a vulnerable flash storage controller firmware. If improperly called on, some partitions of the storage chip would lock up and will be unable to be used…. Read more
